Decorate your one side of the paper.

If you don't do it that is perfectly fine.

Step 4: Cutting the Paper

You will need to cut the paper, to make it a lantern.

Just cut the paper going down into lines.

If you want to make it look like a christmas tree, make the lines start off small and get bigger. Then add a small one at the last line for the bottom of the christmas tree.

*Don't make these lines go to the open side of the paper. Cut the lines from the closed side.

The picture shows what it should look like.
